Previous Dream Address: 3200-0330-2755
With Halloween approaching, there's no better time to visit a creepy, horror themed town. This town's name is in Japanese, but most people online refer to it as the Town of the Artist. Others call it Diablo.

The first thing I noticed was how the town looks desolate and abandoned. There are weeds, clovers, and dead trees all over the place. If there are any ghosts here, they sure don't pull weeds.

I had a chat with Moe, who had blood on his shirt. His house appears to be a doctor's office, and he had a skeleton and a model of a human body behind him...as he talked about snacks.

Many of the villagers in town appear to be wearing the same pattern, as I found out when I visited Rudy. Bleeding from the neck, he told me to open my eyes at look at how amazing this town is. Riiight.

There are only two players' houses in this town, so I made my way to the first one. The player names are in Japanese, but this house is the easternmost one. Inside, I found an artist's studio. A mannequin apparently represented the painter.

Upstairs, the artist can be found at an easel, painting a large tree. Across the room, one of those evil dolls is sitting on a table, seemingly watching the artist.

The room on the left seems to be similar. Each room seems to show the events of what happened in sequential order, because the painting now shows a full forest (if you turn on the light and look closely) and the painter appears to be getting ready for bed.

In the back room, the person that was about to get into bed is now gone. The doll is now on the floor with an axe in front of her!

The room on the right shows the doll even closer to the bed, with the sheets now covered in blood! Maybe it's not a good idea for me to be in here alone with Talky Tina.

In the basement, the bloody sheets remain, but the doll is now gone.

Oh, but wait. Look in the painting, and you can see a red hooded figure! Did the doll escape into the painting of the forest?! Does she think she's Phantom Ganon or something?

That was the last room of the house, so I gladly went back outside for some fresh air. I decided to give cute Lolly a visit. She seems so out of place in a town like this!

In the southwest corner of town, I found a cemetery.

Plot twist: One of the graves caved in, and I found myself buried alive! Well, actually it was just a pitfall seed, so I managed to survive. Still, it was a grave situation.

Heading north, I found two flower beds, each with three golden roses and then a black rose in one corner. I'm not sure if there's any significance to this or not.

Most of the town is run-down, but the area around the mayor's house is actually pretty nice. There's a fountain, paths, and more roses.

Inside, there's a man standing next to a throne, with a judge's bell and a candle on the table in front of him. K.K, Dirge is playing.

There's also a painting here. Let's take a closer look...

The hooded figure again! Is this the doll? I don't think it's Little Red Riding Hood. So what's going on here?

Upstairs, I found the doll and her axe, with a cow skull at the altar, and a pentagram on the back wall. There's clearly some sort of ritual going on here. Is she sacrificing a cow? Or perhaps the artist?

The room on the left appears to be a fortune teller's room, although it also has two beds and a bathtub. Above the tub, there's a painting that includes our hooded doll friend.

The back room has some creepy works of art, including statues and even Majora's mask!

But what's this? The highlight at the back of the art gallery? It's the painting of the forest, with no doll this time.

The painting is also on display in the dining room on the right...but the doll is back in the picture!

In the basement? Blood everywhere. You can even hear it dripping, thanks to three drip pails in the room.

A painting above the bed shows a close-up of the doll's hood. She's heeeeeere!

Although it's clearly evil and violent, I'm not exactly sure what's going on in this house. It's not as clear-cut (so to speak) as the first house. Any thoughts? Leave a comment below and share your theories!

Does the previous code still work?

@Tyrone: Sadly, no. Nintendo deleted all existing dream towns when the Welcome Amiibo update was released. I'm not aware of a current dream address for this town.

I believe that second house was telling of how after the painter died, his piece was sold in an auction, and that the buyer was a wealthy person with servants. The buyer went to the fortune teller, who told him a tale of how the doll was cursed during a dark forbidden ritual (Hence the pentagram) and was able to escape in and out of that painting as she so pleased. But either he didn't believe it or he wasn't able to act quickly enough and the doll killed HIM, too.

What's the players name?

Jeff (mod) · June 22, 2017

@TheDreamer: It's a Japanese name, so I can't translate it, pronounce it, or even type it. :P

Funny you should mention Phantom Ganon�

If you dig up a certain grave, you'll find the Master Sword!

like i would tell you · Apr 19, 2016

Mmmhm has anyone ever found the real story to this?

Madalynn · Jan 24, 2016

There were a few things missed, like behind one of the beds in the left room of the second house is an axe and bloody clothing(?) and a few doll locations. There is an axe behind the throne in the second house. There is a forest painting in the attic of the second house without the red figure (indicating as someone said that if she is not in the painting she is in the room, and if she is in the room, she is not in the painting).
In the basement of the second house there is no music on the radio but when you walk in it's on, so it's just static, yet there is a music box next to the bed with a very calm/eerie for this situation song.

There is a forest by the second house (to the east) that is littered with mushrooms, rotten fruit, due to the paintings I assumed it significant. Also, since I have no respect for the dead, obviously, I dug up the cemetery.
From top left (next to the pitfall) there was a creepy coffin, (skip one, roses), and a fossil of a Peking (peeking? possibly) Man. On the bottom left, (skip the first, flowers), a Master Sword, and another creepy coffin, and the last has flowers as well.
Then I went to dig up the forest next to the murder mansion, I found fossil (x1), axe (x4), creepy skeleton (x4), empty can (x1), a boot (x1).
The skeletons were often behind trees so that I had to zoom in on myself (press up on the directional pad) to make the trees fade so I could see. It is also important to note that each of these four axes had cracks in the inventory screen, as if they had been used.
There were also two pitfalls behind the mayor's house on either side of a buried present. Inside the present is the song 'My Place'. I believe this is significant because a quick google search resulted in the album art of this song being KK looking up through trees/a forest (source : animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/My_Place ) and the song sounds like : www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFD20e_wIqY

As I was going behind the Mayor's house I noticed that there were things on the beach so before I left I headed down there. It was mostly trash (tires, cans, boots) but there was two beehives which brought the beehive count to 4, significance unknown. Another detail: The town flag is the same pentagram seen in the stained glass in the attic of the murder mansion.

If the doll isn't in the picture, it's obviously in the room. I looked around the room and found the doll behind the display case next to the painting

Sammie · July 16, 2015

In the back room you can find the doll sitting and watching you behinde a display case
